Boy Driver (1953)

Saltdean, East Sussex. A racing car leaves a garage, driven by a man (Allan Brown?). He is followed by 5-year-old Jane Chase in a tiny racing car. She pulls up beside a mechanic who adjusts something in the car, then she drives off. Jane is then lifted out of the car by a Allan Brown and 3-year-old John Chase is put into the driving seat. He is shown how to work the controls then drives about. Jane watches. Commentator says “She’s picking up a few tips from John“. Cataloguer’s note: in spite of commentator’s remark, it is plain to see that Jane can drive perfectly well on her own, and I think this story should have been called ’Girl Driver’! Cutting on file calls 3-year-old boy Nicholas Chase, not John. FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ. EXPLORE OUR ONLINE CHANNEL, BRITISH PATHÉ TV.
